Security in Android apps

Hi,
I am Conrad

I was wondering, if anybody would be able to hack accounts on Android apps.
I mean for example we are logged on ebay or Facebook app, and we simply quit to home screen, without logging out, and also disconnect from network and again turn on network.
-To the point, Is it technically possible if anybody would hack our session, when we logged?
Of course we're using WiFi in home with WPA2, not public hotspot.

- How does situation look like with bank apps? Is it any risk when I immediately leave the app without logging out,
-But in web browser on android, on Facebook, is it possible to take over session?

-I 've found VPN app "Zenmate" on Google Play is that proper VPN? , is it worth to use it? or that is a piece of junk?

TALAGENT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       TALAGENT(8)

NAME
talagent -- helper agent for the Transparent App Lifecycle feature. SYNOPSIS
talagent [command [arguments]] DESCRIPTION
The talagent daemon provides services related to the Transparent App Lifecycle feature. talagent may also be run manually as a command line tool to output information about persistent state. The options are as follows: -help Outputs usage information. -dump bundle_id_fragment Outputs the persistent state of an application whose bundle ID contains the given fragment, case insensitive ("textedit" for example). You may also pass a path directly to the app's persistent state directory, usually in ~/Library/Saved Application State. -launch bundle_id This launches an app (in this case, TextEdit) in a manner approximating how apps get launched at login. You can pass either a bundle ID fragment or a path to an app. The app is maintained stopped until you hit return in the launching window (or until it receives SIGCONT). This is the easiest way to test the login scenario without needing to log in. -casinfo [ASN] With no arguments, outputs summary information about all apps. With one argument (an ASN), outputs the CAS record for that app. -memory_pressure Simulates memory pressure, which may cause apps that support automatic termination to exit. This does not actually allocate any memory. -refresh_encryption Rotates the bitmap encryption key, and attempts to cross-encrypt all existing window bitmaps under the new key. This is done periodically by talagent. HISTORY
